Memilih Hobby yang Tepat untuk CV (..and mine goes to..)

Tags: , , ,

Sekarang lagi heboh-hebohnya pengangguran mencari kerja. Dan saat interview, ada satu pertanyaan yang selalu bikin gw bingung mo jawab apa, which is: “Apa hobby kamu?”

Hati-hati lo pertanyaan itu bisa menjebak. It’s not as simple as it sounds. Dengan menanyakan hobby biasanya interviewer bermaksud menanyakan, “Ni orang fun nggak sih? Ato hobby nya maen komputer-komputer juga? nerd bgt..” hahaha ..teori ngasal :p Tapi emang sering sih gw baca CV orang dan hobbynya antara lain gak pernah jauh-jauh dari hal berikut: BROWSING, CHATTING, CODING, n GAMING. Serem ya?

Beda lagi kalo ditanyain “Hobby-nya apa” ketika lo masih SD. Seinget gw pas jaman gw dulu hobby-nya anak di sekolahan gw rata-rata kompak, nggak jauh-jauh dari “BERSEPEDA, MEMBACA, MAKAN, TIDUR, BERNAFAS”. Norak ya? Pas jaman dulu itu gaul lho. Continue reading »

Love your voice, Julienne Taylor!

Tags: ,

The latest CD i bought is a female-audiophile collection by Julienne Taylor. Gosh she really has a clear & bright voice, and it feels so relaxing.. :)

In this album she sings mostly remake-songs, and that’s a good point for me, because i loooove hearing each different versions of songs that I’ve already heard before, hehe. Actually i was gonna buy another Beatles, this time I aimed at the “CHORAL VERSIONS”. That version, is so  wicked cool! Perfect composing, performed by some local choir musical arrangements, and again, so talented. But there’s always another ‘next time’ for Beatles, right? :p

Anyway, here’s the track list of Julienne’s album:

Another Best Buy: The Cranberries – STARS 1992-2002

Tags: ,

Okay, first I bought this CD just to be nostalgic about the whole 90’s decade songs. I still think that Cranberries is one of the best female-fronted band in 90’s, besides The Cardigans :) Actually i had my own debate-thoughts ’bout which one to choose between Cranberries or Cardigans, but anyway I’ve only known Cardigans for its Love Fool and Carnival.. so I’ll stick with Cranberries ’cause i’m familiar with 11 out of 20.

So if you’re looking for all the Cranberries’ radio hits and were hoping to have it all at one CD instead of owning every single, you probably gonna choose this, like I did. But still, my favourites are Animal Instinct and Ode To My Family :)

Cintailah Produk (album) Dalam Negri..

Tags: , , ,

Postingan pertama pake bahasa Indonesia nih :p Soalnya yang mau direview kali ini adalah album Indonesia pertama yang gw beli di tahun 2009 (lebay :p) Yap, and the selection goes to…. ST12 dengan album P.U.S.P.A, hahaha.

Tenang, CD ini pada awalnya dibeli sama kakak gw, yang iseng-iseng beli gara-gara kebanyakan nonton Dahsyat di RCTI :p Lalu setelah gw dengarkan album ini diputar berjuta-juta kali selama perjalanan dari Jakarta-Bandung, *sumpah saya mabok darat gara-garanya*, akhirnya gw membuat sebuah keputusan besar: “Gw akan menghadiahkan Rindang album ini, biar di mobilnya ada CD :D

JavaJazz 2009: Jason Mraz’s only 5 meters away!

Tags: ,

OK, so this is my first time ever experience going to a musical concert (not quite sure, but i think so). And this is the one and only male solo singer that I adore so far, not to mention Craig David (since everybody thought he’s gay :p). When i heard the news on 7th January, i bought the ticket online without thinking. Yep, it’s the early bird price, why should i think more? hehe.

As much as I’m getting too excited to tell the whole story from the very beginning, I think I’ll just make a quick review here.

There was a moment when luckily i didn’t have to march in long queue for redeeming the tickets at Sultan’s Lobby. And how frustating the traffic was, at the day of the performance (6 March). And then to the moment where we (me, my sister,and her friend) sat along in an entrance queue for approx. 3 hours!! But it’s unregrettable because we could all enjoy while he’s having some sound-check :D Finally, the moment where the 3-hours-waiting turned out nice, and WE WERE ABLE TO WATCH HIM FROM THE 1st ROW! it’s only 5 meters away and no wonder all the girls kept on screaming like hell.

We Sing.We Dance. We Steal Things. EXPANDED EDITION

Tags: ,

:)

There’s a couple day left before the mighty performance of my favourite singer, and today i finally bought the LIMITED EDITION album! Yaaay.. :)

So it started a few weeks ago, i’ve been browsing the iLike Facebook application, and suddenly i just noticed that Jason Mraz released the limited edition of  “We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things”. Then i checked out Amazon, wondering how on earth could i buy the album (besides by buying it online). So i thought it was impossible since I guessed it won’t shipped into Indonesia. Surprisingly, when I periodically window-shopping at Taman Anggrek, I FOUND IT! Yes I did..
